From Tennesseans for Fair Taxation

Revenue with Justice for All!

TFT Update, April 22nd 2011

Fighting the Ban on a State Income Tax

The new resolution to BAN a state income or payroll tax, SJR 18, is on the calendar of the House Finance Subcommittee for Wednesday, April 27 at 11:00 AM CDT in Legislative Plaza hearing room 29. Anyone is welcome to attend and show their opposition to this bill. This bill is pandering to millionaire campaign contributors while leaving the bill for our government and vital services to be paid by working people with future increases in the sales tax.

Speak up for REVENUE WITH JUSTICE FOR ALL and please email and/or phone your representative and members of the House Finance Subcommittee to let them know that this is NOT a responsible or reasonable bill to pass.

My Pledge to the Readers of this Blog

The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.

I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.

I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.

I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.

As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.

I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.

Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.
